The Fallen Cycle Mythos fiction podcast

We Are All Just Costumes Death Wears For A Season.
Rewind to 2007 — before the band, before the bus, before the bodies. A burned-out corporate infiltrator called Bradley the Buyer spends his days gaming the stock of the pharmaceutical giant that employs him, and his nights wondering why the whole world feels so deeply, structurally wrong. The answer arrives in a boardroom — and it’s a great deal stranger than he bargained for.

“Birth of the Syndicate” is the origin story of the conspiracy at the heart of this story: one man’s terrible, brilliant idea that corporations are bodies, that bodies get cancer, and that a few well-placed cells can bring a giant to its knees. This is where the long con began — and where the “gods” get their funding.

We Are All Just Costumes Death Wears For A Season.
Not everyone riding with Babylon signed up for a religion. Some are just kids who ran out of other options, traveling in packs across a country that already failed them, doing what they have to. One of them is beginning to understand exactly what kind of thing she’s become part of — and quietly looking for the exit.

When Lilith and Jesus peel off for a midnight joyride, a routine stop at a roadside diner turns on a single ugly word. “Stray Bullets” is about how violence finds the people who go looking for it and the people who don't — and how one tired federal agent learns that the cleanest way to hunt a movement is to invent the war you need to justify the hunt. Their gonzo roadtrip gets decidedly darker.

We Are All Just Costumes Death Wears For A Season.
Somewhere on the endless American interstate, a tour bus the size of a whale carries a band that is becoming something closer to a religion. Babylon plays for crowds that arrive like pilgrims, and behind the throbbing bass and the body paint, its members are starting to suspect their dreams are bleeding into one another — and into something far older. Meanwhile, a federal agent named Trevino sifts through the wreckage they leave behind, certain it adds up to more than bad music and felony theft.

“Wandering Stars” follows the Fallen Cycle's mythpunk rock cult as it grows: live-television ambushes, desert initiations, and a prophet who talks about the apocalypse the way other people talk about the weather.

A single bulb swings in a hotel room that looks like a crime scene — which, more or less, it is. 

Mike checked in as a freelance web developer; a week later he’s broke, strung out, cornered, and holding a small object that every cartel on three continents wants back. Every exit he reaches for falls apart in his hands. Then there’s a knock at the door... 

Season 6 of the Fallen Cycle Mythos opens on the night Mike stops running from his life and looks for a way to cash in. A drug-soaked noir overture about debt, dumb luck, and the strange comfort of becoming no one, “How To Disappear Completely” is a new perspective into everything that follows.
